[G4] MDD issue & G4 sound inputs

[Eric Wood]

Ryan,
As long as you can boot from your OS 9 CD, you can get your drive
formatted with Drive Setup on the CD and then install OS 9. No OS 9
Driver concerns that way. Then you can put OS X on top of it, and you're
probably best off installing Tiger (or whatever version you plan to use)
directly, unless there are some bundled applications you want from an
earlier version.

There is a site for identifying different G4 towers.

For Sound Input on the Digital Audio, it says "USB (with third-party
adapter)" which in real life, of course, means "NONE!" :D
